  The shape of the roots of the shrubs is somewhat exaggerated. Many do go that deep, but they’re not that wide all the way down. There are only a few types that grow roots that look like that.

  There are also deep root grasses if you want a lawn, but don’t want to ruin your soil.

  But you don’t know if the equation they used was for if the owl is swimming through the deep ocean. That would take a lot of calories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone fact check this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t fact check something that doesn’t provide any of its work. Where did they get those numbers from? What equations did they use, and do they actually apply to this situation?

  Since it’s non-falsifiable, you can just disregard it. Claims require evidence, not assertions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do companies always need to grow?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This mostly only happens to companies with outside investors, and it’s in order to make the investors happy.

  Companies owned privately by one or a handful of people who all just want the company to keep going, make a decent profit, and be sustainable, don’t always exhibit the “need for growth” behavior.

  It’s usually because the investors don’t really give a shit about the company or its mission, they just want money.

  Whats wrong, sweetie. You’ve barely touched your refried fetuses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Real answer: because the CEO is the figurehead of the company. An AI can do exactly what a CEO can do except actually interacting with people. So the only necessary and “irreplaceable” job of the CEO is to meet with people and get them to make a deal or invest or whatever.

  That being said, I don’t think there’s any job an LLM can replace a human for. Human’s aren’t hired as next word predictors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Need To Rewild The Internet⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. That’s a good idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Need To Rewild The Internet⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, let’s start by getting rid of Gmail and Outlook (Live, Exchange, whatever they’re calling it now).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Puppy paper⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how the screenshot feature included the silly notches from the buttons used to activate it. Amazing coding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it true that the natural lifespan of humans is only 38 years old and we only live past that because of loads of modern medicines/technology?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No. It’s true that our DNA degrades (loses telomere length) as we age, but that doesn’t affect us until way later in age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to manage docker compose apps?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t auto update. Read the release notes before you update things. Sometimes you have to do some things manually to keep from breaking things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what dm-integrity is for. Also, absolutely do not use Btrfs for RAID5/RAID6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Security camera recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have eight Reolink cameras. They’re awesome. Haven’t had any issues with them other than the occasional disconnect, which only lasts a few seconds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Ubuntu Server -> dm-integrity -> mdadm -> ext4. Super easy to set up (it just takes forever to do dm-integrity on the drives, but you don’t need to watch it), works great, easy to maintain. Everything I run on it is dockerized with docker compose and sits behind nginx-proxy-manager, so it’s also super easy to maintain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you’re right. Every definition I can find for cunt is either vulva or vagina, but none say it refers to both. I think it’s just used interchangeably for both. I think the only term that refers to everything would be “female reproductive organs”, but that does include things like the uterus and the ovaries that both vulva and vagina (and therefore cunt), don’t include. I could certainly be wrong though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a medical condition. I can’t help it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Vulva refers to the whole genitalia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Presidential.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t imagine how EA games could be worse, but then that’s why I’m not in charge. Good job, new owners, on finding a novel way to suck more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Anything you want to back up (data directories, media directories, db data) you would use a bind mount for to a directory on the host. Then you can back them up just like everything else on the host.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s one thing I’m hosting on bare metal, a WebDAV server. I’m running it on the host because it uses PAM for authentication, and that doesn’t work in a container.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If your definition is “follower of Christ”, sure, you can argue that Christ can’t follow himself. My definition is “follower of Christ’s teachings”, and he could definitely follow his own teachings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus was Jewish, but Christians aren't⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If being a Christian means following Jesus’ teachings, I’m pretty sure that makes Jesus the first Christian.
